    Germany and Denmark are also better countries for salaries. Yes jobs are limited to mostly tech and automobile. If you are an automobile engineer then the US is not the best country for you. FYI a fresher gets 60K Euros a year salary in Germany even in startups. If you are married and have a child the German govt wants you to raise the child in Germany for which they pay you 600 Euros allowance per month from your tax deduction. For every child you have, you get 600 Euros monthly assistance till they reach 21 years. If unemployed after graduation, parents can extend allowance till the age of 25. Education for your children and yourself like you want to pursue PhD after working for a decade in German companies, is free. You get German citizenship in five years but if you learn C1 level German by taking interest in the language you get citizenship in 3 years upon landing and paying taxes. Salary increments in these two countries every six months. Hardly in three years of service, your salary goes from 60K Euros to 110K Euros. So if you are not interested in PhD and academia, then consider EU countries. Germany needs 4 lakh expats to fill their workforce each year for next ten years. Hit the iron while its hot.

    H1B is modern day slavery even for people from other countries, and it is only getting worse each year. I have seen people from developed countries who got a taste of life on H1-B recently, and they found it extremely unpalatable as well. No talented person would spend 10+ years of his prime years of life living such a miserable life. I feel sorry for those who are trapped and couldn't do much about it now. But anyone who is not yet trapped, should look toward other developed countries because your youth will never come back, no matter how big your bank statement is or how impressive your CV is.

    It is true that a lot of jobs in India are support based jobs and that too majorly in IT. There is literally nothing in core engineering fields, this can be proved by how theIT giants fill in mechanical and civil engineers for their bench strength

    Sir, actually the real situation is that those who are able to build a king like life in India itself by either cracking UPSC or opening a business that generates crores of revenue every year do not even give a single thought to leave the country. But that population is very handful. A vast majority comprises of 9-5 working class employees and their situation is very miserable especially in metro cities. Therefore they desperately wants to move out of the country in search of better opportunities even if they are paid really good. And for that they are ready to go till any extent even if they have to wait for years for the green card.

    Simple fix is to count dependents as a single green card instead of bringing in a complex bill like per country cap removal. Think for a simple immediate simple quick fix rather than rewriting immigration clause, Advocacy needs to change.

    As long as US remain the top destination, this problem will persist. I have filed in 2019 and not hoping to get my GC before I die. There should be alternate plans. Look for other destination is the way now.

  • @rho992
    @rho992 Před rokem +6

    I don't understand the argument at all. People in US especially the left liberal circle is okay with people illegally crossing borders and give access to citizenship, while they contribute less, pay almost no tax, depress wages and do jobs that are easy to replace, On the other hand don't want talented people using legal means to immigrate, contribute tremendously to R&D and tax.
    Everyone in US apart from Native Americans is an immigrant. These polices are therefore discriminatory.
    PS: In the first part I wasn't talking about war torn refugees, I was talking about economic migrants that do donkeys.

    Sir, there can be no change in immigration rules unless both the parties compromise, that looks tough as of now. Although, it is still possible that things can change in the future, I believe that people on H1b should never rely on these changes but concentrate and focus on their own skills if they wish to continue working so that they can progress in their career while waiting for GC. Skills do count and never go waste. Don’t you think so?
    Also, I don’t think that the big tech companies oppose eagle act. The salaries that H1b workers are offered these days are very competitive and Eagle Act was backed by the big tech industries. Maybe some other companies do.

      True and false my friend. True because what you say is indeed a fact, there are good product companies doing R&D work in India. False is a stretch, but the point is the number of such jobs available in India is miniscule when compared to what you see in the US.

    There are two practical solutions that could be implemented.
    1. Allocate Unused Green Cards at the end of the year.
    2. Consider dependants as 1 single unit.
    These two adjustments when tabled in the Congress in a single bill will have less chances of get stopped by Filibuster attempts by certain Senators when the Bill reaches the Senate.

  • @Lucerne23
    @Lucerne23 Před rokem +8

    I support your idea of a 7% country cap based on the concept of power equality just like it is in the Senate. However, in reality, the Indians and Chinese are in fact getting far greater visa numbers every year. So the purpose of having an Eagle act makes no sense and I am glad it has been dropped. in fact, if one looks over the past data, the number of GC that have gone to Indians and Chinese is far greater than what the Eagle act would have provided in reality. One important aspect you forget is the quality of new employees on H1B has been lowered as well. Employers have to raise the standard far higher to sponsor the candidates. As an employer, it is hard for me to find a fulfilling candidate who is worth the sponsorship. I try hard every year but the lottery system has really killed the ones who deserve the H1B and the GC.

    Good analysis. It is always known H1B is a temporary visa which may lead to a permanent status. Those counting on being permanent resident and making major decision based on that are themselves to blame.

  • @svdfxd
    @svdfxd Před rokem +2

    I completely understand the problem faced by people stuck in the GC backlog. If you priority date is beyond 2018 I am not sure how long you will have to wait. And if your children were born outside the US they will have to go out of your visa umbrella once they turn 21...go back to the home country, get a student visa and start the whole H1B journey again on their own. I would rather ask people to explore Canada/Australia option. Once you have built your skills in the US, you should be able to get jobs in these countries.

  • @sanchyc
    @sanchyc Před rokem +2

    Unfortunately this explanation in the presentation is grossly half-diligent. It concluded saying the "be grateful, keep improving and stay "open" to situations". Presenter has either mistakenly or deliberately ignored an important aspect in the entire process i) HOPE ii) FEAR of a devastated hope. second one follows the first. I completely agree when Indian immigrants come legally to US, they start appreciating the the good life around them and falls in love with a wish that "if I could be a part of that"! Fair enough. Even at this point, they know they are here with dual intent. The big mistake that happens at this point is that both employer and lawyers start inculcating a hope in them that "oh yeah, you can stay here for good". The legal immigrant sows the hope in his head and starts building a bigger caste in sky. Nothing wrong on his part! He starts putting more diligent effort, employer starts thinking "this is good. I can expand my business using his skills". The dollar starts playing here. Employer and lawyer files GC for the employee. The employee is ecstatic - his dream is perhaps coming true. This is called 'American dream'! He buys a hous even on H1B visa. Wow (and the American housing market allows that!) Then begins the second phase - a crest fallen hope and in comes the fear of protecting the hope. The legal immigrant does everything possible in his part - pays top dollar to IRS, pays mortgage duly, drives most carefully to avoid ill-impacting tickets. Worse, his kids (if not born in America) goes to school and even college. Nobody stops kids, in fact why should someone stop the kid from studying. But, nobody tells the young kid - "Man you have an other struggle coming up once you are 21 years!" Fantastic, the colleges make money out of the foreign student!
    So, hello presenter, do you see how the ill-fated legal immigrant falls in the trap of paraphernalia built around him/her without (s)he realizing it? Then why NOT blame the bureaucratic system, false pledges and corporate greed that "just treats a legal immigrant from India as a cash-cow?" Sad! Therefore, yes there is a fair share of responsibility on part of American "players" who inculcated hope and let it get destroyed over time!
    Agree it's their country, they set rules and they choose to pull the carpet from beneath whenever they "feel like". But, then don't preach and talk about fairness.
    I am not pro any political party or any legislative motion, all I wish is legal immigrants are treated humanely, someone really understands their pain and mitigate it!

    • @DesiAmericanProfessor
      @DesiAmericanProfessor  Před rokem +6

      Appreciate your views sir but respectfully, only half of what you are saying is true. It is correct that a sense of false hope by the employer and the system is given. But the other part is that these educated people on H1B are no fools. The green card backlog has always been known and out in open. So people have been giving false hope to themselves. I knew about the green card backlog even way back in 2008 when it used to be a 10-15 year wait. Every year it kept getting worse. Everybody knew all this. It is just that people want to cling on hope rather than reality.

    • @neoblackcyptron
      @neoblackcyptron Před rokem

      Well the presenter just got his USC. He owes allegiance to the Flag of the United States. I agree with everything you said. I’m waiting for the day when Indian tech hits critical mass and we surpass US. Then we will treat these Americans in a glorious shitty way. Let’s use race. Indian Americans get higher priority, the whiter races will have to wait before they can immigrate to India. US just now brought in 100000 Ukranian refugees within 6 months since they we’re white. Afghan refugees who helped America against the taliban have had the refugee petitions refused by turncoat USA. Whiter you are the more privileged you’ll be it’s called White House for a reason.
      But rest of the world is even worse than America.
      So America is still lesser of all other evils in this world.
